The Ministry of Defense (the Ministry of Defense) confirmed that a UK soldier accused of raping a woman near a controversial British army base in Kenya attacked a British citizen, not a Kenyan, the Ministry of Defense (MD).
In a statement, the army said that the man was arrested and returned to the United Kingdom after the alleged accident last month near the British Army Training Unit in Kenya (Patock).
This claim is being investigated by the British army, which has a specialty in this matter, and does not include the Kenyan police.
The alleged rape is the last claim of misconduct against British soldiers in Patock, which is located near Nanioca, about 200 km (125 miles) north of the capital of Kenya, Nairobi.
“We can confirm the arrest of a British person in Kenya with regard to a report on a sexual crime. A person has been restored to the United Kingdom and the victim is a British adult, not a Kenyan,” said a Ministry of Defense spokesman.
“This issue is the issue of an ongoing investigation by the leadership of the serious crime of defense in the United Kingdom, according to the Defense Cooperation Agreement between the United Kingdom and Kenya and we will not attach more.”
A soldier in the United Kingdom was previously accused of killing a local woman, Ashnis and Wandro, whose body was found in the sewage tank in 2012.
The UK said it was cooperating with Kenny’s investigation in her death.
The Patok base was established in 1964 shortly after the East Africa State of Independence from the United Kingdom.
The British army has an agreement with Kenya, according to which it can deploy up to six army battalions annually for training periods on the site.
But the British army faced a series of allegations about the behavior of some UK members in the camp.
The general investigation established by Kenyan deputies last year absorbed details of the alleged abuse of the local population by British soldiers.
These allegations included an informed incident, in addition to allegations that some British soldiers had carried local women before abandoning them and their children when they returned to the United Kingdom.
